this vide describes every freaking problem you try to find.

helped me get system shock 2 to run in windowed mode.

Lessons I learned from fixing this way: 1. People define "double clicking" in any way they like. My issue was dragging and dropping not holding and clicks not registering. Applying this fix caused the metal to lose its durability. After a few months the tension spring broke off (the middle part you're supposed to snap in) on its own, so you lose a lot from the promised "20 mil clicks" (cheap omrons). Not taking off the spring and instead cleaning the contacts would've been the better solution. 2. Trying this instead of soldering may be the worst experience of your day. Taking the casing off is fiddly. So is taking off the spring and I suspect doing so damages it because the springy part gets bent sideways. Putting it back on may be trivial with enough skill, but will be an absolute nightmare the first time. Don't even bother if you don't have electronics tweezers with pointed tips. 3. It's possible to jerry rig a new switch from an old mouse, even with poorly-fitted parts. This is the actual cool part because my goal was to mod some nice soft switches that are great for spamming. They'll be stiff as hell at first, but can be modded by bending the tension spring with tweezers until a round arch is achieved. Trimming the spring with scissors and filing gives you a flatter click. 4. I hated all of it. I hated fiddling with parts so tiny and without proper lighting. In retrospect, soldering should've been so much easier, as all it takes to replace a switch is to soften the old solder and then put some new one with the cheapest iron, but there's no guarantee that the switch you're buying will work well with the mouse shell. tl;dr - Just try soldering. Or don't take off the spring at all. You WILL damage it.

I just fixed my mouse after more than a year of not working correctly, this does in fact fixed my problem of double clicking

Good news is: I fixed the double clicking issue. Bad news: Only after I tore the pins from a grey ribbon that connected both boards (deathadder mouse) in my 4 hour clumsiness trying to put the spring back in place. 👍Maybe I'll try fixing that next

This is not worth the time and frustration. The metal, once deformed, will no longer retain its springiness in the long term once you bend it back. The only permanent "fix" is to buy a replacement switch, de-solder the old one on the board and solder in the new one.

that website was sent by god in person

0:20 how do you open these switches? The ones without the catches on the front and the back

it did work ..... 10 years ago u decided to help me today ❤

Thanks for the guide but my god reattaching the copper thing made me go insane. I just used the one from the 3rd side mouse button (since I never use it) and moved it to left click. Works fine now

Report with Razer Basilisk V1: After about an half an hour of messing with the switch, i managed to figure out what I was doing wrong and retried again with success. I have fixed my mouse as before dragging and dropping was almost impossible. I have bent the metal bit a bit more on the right click and there is an audible difference but that does not matter as the mouse finally works as intended. Thank you 10 year old KZbin tutorial in helping another mouse not to end up in landfill !!!

works pretty well! Just saved me from buying a new mouse. I hope it is a long lasting solution :D Thank you very much! :)

This solved my problem.. thank you

Thanks, this solved my problem with my logitech G602!

I had the same problem. I tried to solve it like this, but after more than 2 hours of trying, i ordered a new switch. For me, the better way.

I failed. Mouse is in trash now 😂

Thanks

thx for showing me how to remove 0:23 this type of switch cover i goin on to the 8th video cuz no one fcking show it and my mouse is dissambled :)

how tf am i supposed to get all these tools what

Я посмотрел это. И я сам смог сделать. Все работает. Ты лучший!! Сэкономил мне хорошую сумму денег, мой маус сейчас стоит 240 баксов

why does software even listen to 2 clicks within the space of 0.000000001 micro seconds anyway?? who is going to actually double click that fast? the answer is nobody, nobody clicks that fast

Personally, there is a brand that offers an 80m version. These for sure are not making the 10m claim. I'd guess maybe 2-3m at most.

Sand down where the metal click connects on each one as well. They corrode over time and you'll get a faulty signal, sanding the connection points down prevents this.

these guys helped me when OneDrive messed up all my game save files moving them into my documents in the wrong folders, and I couldn't figure out the unique location for each game file. Fortunately this site shows save data locations for each game in my library, turning years of searching into a few hours to fix. Saved my ass.

thanks! now its working by buying new one.

It helped me fix my mouse after the switch stopped working altogether. It's not as clicky as it used to be, but it's working!

lots of bot comments

Thank you very much, it worked for my Corsair Glaive Pro.

anybody know how to add more levels

I found a comment on another video regarding the double click. No need to bend the strip of copper. Most of the time, it's the oxidize copper rust that's causing the issue. Ergo, all you need to do is clean the contact point and it shouls fix the double clicking

thank you so much for this guide despite being almost a decade old. it looked intimidating to perform and it is to a degree. gotta be delicate and gentle, but you made it look simple and that gave me the confidence to try and fix my Glorious Model O. it is functioning like brand new again, till next time it happens again. very satisfied

I know this video is pretty old but has anyone encountered an issue where installing the fov fix causes the game to crash on launch? I installed it into the binaries like it asked but now the game won't load

Bro I lost the copper part

makes my game crash on startup i folllowed the websites instructions

Thanks, my mouse is working properly again!

Thank you very much

It worked! Thank you very much

Thank you for the useful video!

You just saved my life and my mouse. Since that thing is unlike other mice and is too rare I didn't know how to open it or to get it back. But bcz of ur video.. Dude. much love man

Thanks a lot for this video. I fixed my old Logitec G300 with this!

dont be mistaken: If you cant get that metal piece in place and keep trying for hours, it eventually breaks. Yes, now im free to jump out of the window

Thank you. All fixed 🙏

Just solved my mouse issues, you pressing on the spring without the case to show how it's SUPPOSED to work, is all the information I needed to fix mine. Thank you so much, it works again, and I dont have to buy a 200 dollar mouse to replace it.

Solved my left clicking on the G103, it's clicking like new again. The zoomed in video is very helpful especially on putting that copper part back. I did not do the bending though, just cleaned the blackish residue on the copper part surface with alcohol swab. So thank yooou.

This works, thanks! I never want to do this ever again!

this guide + corsair scimitar pro disassembly video and my mouse is good as new at 1 am xD

Dont recommend anyone doing this. After doing this and reassembling everything my mouse doesnt even make a real click sound anymore and it feels very off.
